Racing not covered by motorcycle insurance – PIAM

More on the topic of legalised motorcycle street races, which Federal Territories minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor says he plans to hold in KL. The Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia (PIAM) says that a motorcycle insurance policy does not cover activities such as racing, and it is an exclusion under the policy, The Sun reports.

The association told the publication that while legal and professional racers can get insurance coverage for legitimate racing, illegal racing is not covered by insurance. It said any such activity is done at the rider’s own risk, and if there is an injury caused to a third party or damage to another person’s property, the rider will be personally responsible for any damage costs.

“In the event an Insurer (Insurance Company) is held liable to pay by virtue of the provisions under Section 96 of the Road Transport Act, the insurer can seek indemnity from the motorcycle owner and/or rider,” PIAM explained, adding that it advised those taking part in such activities to refrain from it.

Anthony Lim believes that nothing is better than a good smoke and a car with character, with good handling aspects being top of the prize heap. Having spent more than a decade and a half with an English tabloid daily never being able to grasp the meaning of brevity or being succinct, he wags his tail furiously at the idea of waffling - in greater detail - about cars and all their intrinsic peculiarities here.

Nobody in their right mind will condone to such illegal activities, more so to cover them. So this speaks volume of how smart our authorities are managing this issue. It’s the case of Dumb and Dumber again!

Insurance company reject, Rakyat more then 95% rejected the proposal, Transport Ministry same not buying the idea and So what’s next from this ABUSE using power the idea to table on parliament??? Rakyat and tax payers please wakeup ! Stop the foolishness from this ministry !!!

Proper official racing organizations emphasize on safety, technology and the sport itself. This no safety cheap thrill street race will bad publicity and complaints when there’s a life cost of a child of some parents. By then, will this organizer be charged?

A smart and wise minister will always study and see a big picture of the event before making any proposal..sadly many minister nowadays speak and think like uneducated ppl worst cheap and low class…at the end shiok sendiri and proud with himself saying i have contributed to ppl..think again are you contribute or protecting your own rice bowl…is this street racing contribute more social issues or benefit to ppl….you may propose to Ministry of edu this year for this title in Spm essay question..then you will see the answer from our future youth!!!
